The funeral of the last human. |
Little over a month The Earth mourns humanity’s last funeral With its very own offering of flowers A small number of weeds pepper the ground Where feet once tread Now the Earth plays its own song No longer with the sound of human interference Wind rustles the leaves on the trees And raindrops come to join in from time to time The warmth of humans long gone And nothing is there to remember it Everything written will come to be lost When there will be no language to decipher it Would it be nice to be a ghost Roaming the endless greenery Basking in sunlight they cannot feel Seeing a world so alive This is the end No human eyes will ever get to see A place only imagination will ever take us Beyond an impenetrable wall Where we see darkness May you see everything fully Goodbye, our home We did everything in your embrace Every feeling felt belonged to you And even after death you have a place for us Maybe my feelings were never mine, but yours My every move was you making me dance Like how you make dust dance Even in the gentlest stillness Or was I you, swinging to our song Will you welcome the new eyes that wake Like you did so kindly to me? I guess I’ll never know But in my perpetual sleep I’ll make sure to dream of you Word Count: 238 |
